Get Happy Hips Yoga

About this class

This is one of the older MerryBody classes. For higher quality sound and video select a newer class.  It’s time to get happy hips! Oh yeah! With all the booty burning fun, it’s important that we stretch out our hips and this session is dedicated to that! Did you know that we store a lot of emotion and energy in the hips? This is why they can feel so tight! We also spend SO many hours sitting down these days (working at desk/phone and driving) that we can shorten the muscles around the hips, making it harder and less comfy for the body to stand up straight. Let’s give those hips some love, release the tension and feel the freedom.

Alignment notes

Use a blanket or towel under your knees for extra cushion comfort. During our forward folds, we try to keep the shoulders down away from the ears and the heart space open, rather than curving the shoulders forward.
